Intro

From this distant vantage point
The Earth might seem of any particular interest
But for us, it's different
Considering and a dot
That's here
That's home
That's us
On it, everyone you love, everyone you know
Everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives
The aggregate or joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every hero and coward
Ever creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every super star
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species
Lived there on the moat of dust suspended in a sunbeam
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast, cosmic arena
